RACHEL E. CLARK
The many friends of the family will learn with sorrow of the passing away of Mrs. Will Clark, which occurred at her home on Roland avenue on Monday morning, February 26, 1923, at the age of 60 years, 4 months and 30 days, after an extended illness.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. A. Pettitt, were held at the Baptist church on Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Salem cemetery by the side of her husband.
Rachel E. Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Wilson, was born in Benton township, Lucas county, on September 27, 1863.
She was married here on July 13, 1879 to Mr. Will Clark. Five children were born to this union. One son died in infancy. Those living are Frank Clark of Michigan City, Indiana; Harry of Barronett, Wisconsin; Mrs. Cora McDonnell of Lacona; and Jessie, at home. She is also survived by ten grandchildren and by one brother, John M. Wilson of Ottumwa. She was preceded in death by two brothers and one sister.
When but a girl she united with the Methodist church at Salem. In 1892, after moving to Chariton, she united with the First Baptist church, of which she has remained a faithful member.
Her husband was instantly killed by a train on Dec. 21, 1913, and since that time she has been in failing health. However, she was able to be about the house until last Friday when she grew much worse and declined until death came quietly and peacefully.
During her years of suffering she has been tenderly cared for by her daughter, Jessie, whose devotion has been unceasing. Mrs. Clark's life was practically all spent in this county and to know her was to admire her for the many lovable qualities she possessed. As a wife and mother she was all that this honored title implies, ever watchful of the interests of her family and their welfare and always brightening their pathway.
She will be held in tender and loving remembrance by all who knew her, and the sympathy of all will be extended to the grief stricken children, brother, and other relatives who are left to mourn their loss.
